The Lamb of God


John 1:29 (1 Corinthians 5:7).

The Lamb of God who takes away the sin,
Those who believe will be cleansed within;
Before there was Christ, Moses was here,
Rescuing Israelites from terror and fear;
God told Moses they're to sacrifice a lamb,
With the blood sprinkled on the door jamb;
What seems interesting is just to compare,
The significance that these events share;
The lamb was without a spot or blemished,
Christ was without sin when He perished;
The lamb was set aside four days before,
Four days prior Christ in Jerusalem's door;
Passover the event for the lamb was called,
Time of Passover when Jesus is sprawled;
The lamb's blood on door posts it showed,
Christ's blood down on a cross it flowed;
No bones broken in lamb being sanctified,
Neither the Christ's bones when crucified;
Because of Christ He is the lamb sacrifice,
Remaining in God's grace paying the price.
